A different route from black pepper | Bookmark | ||||||
Piperic acid seems, from its structure, to merely be isosafrole with an extended carbon chain. Would the selective oxidation methods that yield MD-P2P from isosafrole (e.g, oxone/H2SO4)also yield MD-P2P from piperic acid, or even directly from piperine? Wouldn't the side-chains of both molecules oxidize in the same fashion? |

You would get ketones/epoxides using the oxone procedure on these molecules, but they would not be suitable for production of MDP2P - the side chain would be too long. |

It doesn't seem so to me, as you will invariably have a carboxylic acid function at the end of the chain, and we don't want that on an active compound. |
